Anyone nervous for primary school admission results?

[ThisIsTheEndgame]

State primary admission results are.out this week. We have to wait for a letter, how retro, as we did a paper application for a deferred Reception start (DD is 5 in July, some minor additional needs). Really really hope we get a place at the friendly local school a 5 minute walk away! Anyone else waiting and want to chew their nails with me?

I was a bit anxious but I don't know why, ds2 is already at our first choice school and we live very close by- still a massive relief to see that a where ds3 has been offered. Huge sympathy to anyone who has been disappointed- you'll get some excellent advice and support on here if you need it.

Does anybody know what time North Tyneside send out their emails? The anxiety! 😬

@car1sberg log onto the online form I’m sure yours will be there. Mine was listed at 6am and I know lots of others were. I didn’t get the email until 9am.
The info is quite a long way down the page

Do they ever put the result up on the admissions site before they send the email. I keep checking the page which I’m sure is pointless. WAAAA!

@Stilltryingtocatchwind thank you for replying - I’ve been logging on to the portal continuously but I can’t see anything? I’ve been checking my messages - is that right? Thank you!

@car1sberg once you’ve logged in click “apply for school place” then at the bottom of that page is your offer

No idea what the messages button is for there is nothing there.
But now I’m dying to know if ours is the same school. Does it start with A?

@Stilltryingtocatchwind thank you - I have and there’s nothing there.. I scrolled down past all the info and it says ‘Make a New Application’ then ‘you have no children without an application.’ And gives me the option to add one? Argh...

Well that’s rubbish. It should take much longer surely

I’m a bit anxious anyway because we’ve applied from a different county (moving back up north in the summer after living away for a few days) so wondering if I’ve done something wrong somehow! I had my email confirmation when I made my choices though.. we’re also applying for a school just out of catchment area, gosh this is nerve wracking!

Years not days 🤣

Why do London boroughs send their results so bloody late? I’ll have passed out from tension before 5pm!

Sorry have just seen - no it doesn’t begin with an A.. begins with a B ☺️ Got me wondering about yours now..

I’ll have passed out from tension before 5pm!

Same! We don’t even have a time just “the evening”

Phew my DD got first choice!

There’s generally only holystone and the whitely bay ones where there are capacity issues. If not there’s not many bad schools so I’m sure you’ll be grand @car1sberg

@RiddleyW I feel your pain. I feel sick!

DD didn’t get into any of our 3 choices, instead allocated a school which is an academy and a religious school which ‘requires improvement’ - I am beyond devasatated and feeling very stuck.

@Stilltryingtocatchwind thanks.. we’re actually moving to Holystone but haven’t opted for that school as it’s so full that our older child wouldn’t get in. I have the added worry of needing to sort out his application after this too..

@missmonkeypenny you poor thing.. I hope you can figure something out?

Email at 2211hrs yesterday saying ds has got his first and only choice Id actually forgotten allocation day was approaching so was a nice surprise last night.

My email came through at just past 9am. And we got our first choice thank goodness. So pleased

@SparklySneakers I wish I had forgotten!

A friend of mine has told me she has got a place in our first choice. I live (literally) miles closer than she does so there's no real reason to worry but still.

I'm really sorry monkeypenny - are you on waiting lists for your preferred schools?

We got a spot in the same school as his sister so are over the moon today.

I'm sorry to those who haven't got a place that they wanted.
